“Currently there is a skills audit under way, under the auspices of the department of communications, and following this process the results of the skills audit in relation to staff optimisation will be fully engaged with all stakeholders, including organised labour and employees of the SABC,” spokesperson Vuyo Mthembu said in a statement on Sunday.

It has requested a R3.2bn government guarantee to stay afloat.In January the SABC announced that it was halting moves to retrench more than 2,000 permanent staff and freelancers, pending a skills audit.
